Rhyme Scheme: ABAAB CBCCB DBDDB EBEEB FBFFB GBGHB| Not here in the populous town | A |
| In the playhouse or mart | B |
| Not here in the ways gray and brown | A |
| Bnt afar on the green swelling down | A |
| Is the home of my heart | B |
| - | |
| There the hillside slopes down to a dell | C |
| Whence a streamlet has start | B |
| There are woods and sweet grass on the swell | C |
| And the south winds and west know it well | C |
| Tis the home of my heart | B |
| - | |
| There s a cottage o ershadowed by leaves | D |
| Growing fairer than art | B |
| Where under the low sloping eaves | D |
| No false hand the swallow bereaves | D |
| Tis the home of my heart | B |
| - | |
| And there as you gaze down the lea | E |
| Where the trees stand apart | B |
| Over grassland and woodland may be | E |
| You will catch the faint gleam of the sea | E |
| From the home of my heart | B |
| - | |
| And there In the rapturous spring | F |
| When the morning rays dart | B |
| O er the plain and the morning birds sing | F |
| You may see the most beautiful thing | F |
| In the home of my heart | B |
| - | |
| For there at the casement above | G |
| Where the rosebushes part | B |
| Will blush the fair face of my love | G |
| Ah yes I It is this that will prove | H |
| Tis the home of my heart | B |
